Directions

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook bow-tie pasta at a boil, stirring occasionally, about 9 minutes. Add asparagus and cook until pasta is tender yet firm to the bite, about 3 minutes more; drain.

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir mushrooms, red bell pepper, and garlic until tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Reduce heat and stir in chicken, artichoke hearts, pesto, salt, and red pepper flakes; cook and stir until heated through, about 5 minutes.

  • Mix pasta and asparagus into chicken mixture, adding chicken broth if some moisture is needed. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the top.

Cook's Note:

For a slightly nutty flavor, you can broil the asparagus then add to the chicken mixture.

I love all the flavors that went into this pasta! Make sure you buy a good pesto since that is the predominant flavor profile in the pasta. Even better you could make your own! I did use more pesto than the recipe called for because it was a little dry and I wanted a stronger pesto taste. I also only used 12 oz. of pasta instead of 16 oz. since that is the size the bowtie pasta box. Read More

The taste was very good I forgot to put in the pesto but it was still tasty though a bit dry. I don't know if 1/3c of pesto would have made that much difference. I will add some broth tonight when I reheat the leftovers. The cooking time for the asparagus will vary on the diameter of the asparagus. I used the fatter ones so I would suggest adding it earlier as it took at least 5-6min to become tender and not chewy. Read More

Easy, delicious, full of amazing flavors! I followed the recipe closely, with the only change being 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper instead of red pepper flakes. I might switch out bow tie pasta for spaghetti or linguine, but thats it. Read More

Great and tasty recipe! I actually used linguine for the noodles and chicken breasts. I also skipped the pesto and just used basil alone. Read More

It was sooo delicious! Everyone in our family loved it! We left out the artichoke heart out of personal preference, changed out the Parmesan for mozzarella and roasted a chicken at home the day before to reduce the salt from a store bought rotisserie. Read More
